You know, stuff like Ant-Man beating Wasp, or how Ms. Marvel was raped and decided to give birth to the baby, who then went back in time and was the one who impregnated her in the first place, or that they had a homeless guy called D-Man on the team, or maybe even how the Avengers once had to stop a horny Hulk who had decided it was time to mate, and came looking to nail the only other green chick in the Marvel universe... his cousin, She Hulk..

In the comics, the Hulk can jump for miles - but the makers of The Avengers wanted to keep him realistic

I'm going to have to say that the dude who got the power to radically violate conservation of mass by being irradiated at random by a bomb may kind of be a "the ship has sailed" deal on realism. Pretty sure if people are OK with a dude conjuring matter from literally nowhere without even high-school physics pseudoscience handwave the jumping height thing is probably already taken care of under existing suspension of disbelief.

FTFY, subs.

Yeah, I agree . I liked the movie enough to read all of these. None were interesting. A lot more revolved around "We used CG" than I would have cared for. Did the Hulk really need 11 places in the list?

ranak:I think everyone is missing the real point of the article: Somewhere out there, there is a full digital rendering of Scarlett Johansson.

Oh, the possibilities...

Came to point that out.FTA:2. Every single Avenger had a digital copy.Check out the Hulk video up top - they were able to substitute a CG version of Black Widow in some scenes where she's involved in a mostly CG action scene. Black Widow was the hardest to do, because a beautiful person is harder to model than an ugly person - her eyelashes had to be perfect, or it wouldn't look like the real Scarlett Johansson. Typically, you only get a limited amount of time to capture images of each actor, but in this movie, they got tons of high-quality scans of every actor, so they could create really high-quality digital versions. They captured every possible facial expression from these actors, using the Nova camera system.

As a non-comic reading person - I disagree. The Hulk did his miles jump stuff in one of his movies and I thought it looked ridiculous and was silly. I didn't know that was a thing from the comics until this story.

The slightly more limited Hulk in this movie seemed less ridiculous and didn't evoke the 'now that's just silly' reaction from me or my non-geeky movie watching wife.

So, I think they're validated. And besides, the 'person growing out of no where' effect is so established as to be unquestioned by almost all movie watchers.

Interesting fact: The writer actually only put Hulk in 9 places on the list. The other 2 were added in post!

"Maybe you already got this from watching the movie, but they decided basically the Helicarrier has a ton of cameras on top, photographing the actual sky, and then projecting that image onto LED panels on the bottom. Marvel wanted the Helicarrier to feel like something that could actually exist"

I liked the decisions they made with the Hulk too. Part of the problem in the first two attempts was that he did look overly muscled and ridiculous. I did notice when I saw the movie that he had more of a strongman competitor physic than a body builder. Thick and powerful instead of showy muscles.

Not at all. You'd be surprised, movie-goers are very willing to "suspend disbelief" on some things, and not on others. There's no exact science to it, but usually if it "looks weird" it's when it takes you out of the movie and should be changed.

According to this little gem from Einstein: E=mc2, mass can be created from energy....

m=E/c2

So according to physics, Bruce Banner would have to have enough energy to power New York for a while to create the mass when in Hulk form.
